Q. Body compensates low oxygen availability at high altitudes by I. increasing RBC II. decreasing binding affinity of haemoglobin III. increasing binding affinity of haemoglobin IV. increasing breathing rate V. decreasing breathing rate Choose the correct option for given statement

A) I, II and III
B) II, III and IV
C) I, III and IV
D) I, II and IV
Explanation

Body compensates low oxygen availability at high altitude by increasing RBC production, increasing binding capacity of haemoglobin (through increasing 2, 3-biphosphoglyceric acid) and increasing breathing rate
